Author’s note: These are my own weird little opinions and I have no affiliation with Publix<\/a>! Hmmph!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life isn’t fair.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is nothing wrong with this ice cream. But. I bought it after trying the Publix Buckeyes & Fudge<\/a> flavor. And there’s just no comparison. You can’t compete with that. Don’t even try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, following on the heels of such unbridled magnificence<\/em>, this Chocolate Moose Tracks flavor is comparatively<\/em> “ho-hum.” No, that isn’t<\/em> fair. But neither is life.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

What it is?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Anyway. This is a “Publix Premium” ice cream flavor, and it’s essentially a chocolate base with mix-ins of mini peanut butter cups and fudge ribbons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I appreciate about this ice cream is that it IS absolutely “rich and creamy.” No lies were told. It has just the right balance of airy lightness and buttery cream density. It’s also one of the flavors with a more modest<\/em> sweetness. You won’t feel bullied by the sugar overlords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(For another Publix flavor with a gentle sweetness, check out my review of the Santa’s White Christmas<\/a> flavor.)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Weak chocolate flavor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I think my chief “complaint” with this ice cream is that it is supposed to be “chocolate peanut butter” flavor. But it is neither deeply chocolatey, nor richly peanuty. It’s awkwardly a little of both, without really satisfying either longing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also lacks the seductive saltiness of Publix’ Buckeyes & Fudge variation. (Sorry, I just cannot<\/em> get over how good that was. It was absurdly good. I am a ruined woman now.)<\/p>\n\n\n

Uneven mix-ins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

And, my last two complaints: this Chocolate Moose Tracks variation had rather uneven distribution of the mini peanut butter cups: I found most of them at the bottom of my carton. And the chocolate texture is just a tad more grainy than I’d prefer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s still yummy. And I ate it all. But I won’t be raving or recommending it. Shan’t.<\/em> Can’t make me.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mini Peanut Butter Cups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once I found<\/em> the mini peanut butter cups, they’re enjoyable. Not as nice as the buckeyes — these have more milk chocolate, and are more sugary than peanuty. But they’re still fun and tasty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Need something a little fancier? Here’s my review of these show-stopping Pistachio Gelato Bombs from Sprouts<\/a>.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"A<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Fudge ribbons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fudge is similar to other Publix-brand flavors. Maybe even identical. It’s distributed in thin (but wide) ribbons, and has a soft, delicate texture. I liked the more concentrate dark chocolate flavor this fudge contributes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
